Now, American researchers have launched a project in an effort to better understand how one such gas, carbon dioxide, affects climate change. The project will depend on citizen scientists providing information about all of the world's power plants. June Simms has the story.
Kevin Gurney is an atmospheric scientist at Arizona State University. He is making a map of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. Power plants are major producers of those gasses. They are believed to cause more than 40% of carbon dioxide emissions.
Kevin Gurney says there is good information about emissions in the United States, Canada, India and the European Union. But, he says, estimates for the rest of the world are not complete.
Kevin Gurney's project is called Ventus, a word that means "wind" in Latin. He has set up a website where people around the world can provide information about power stations.科学家们正在搜集更多有关大气层中温室气体的信息。目前，美国的研究人员开展了一项计划，依托公民科学家们提供全球所有发电站的信息，以致力于更好的了解其中一种气体——二氧化碳——是如何影响气候变化的。以下是琼·西姆斯的报道。
凯文·葛尼是亚利桑那州立大学的大气科学家。他正在制作一张全球二氧化碳排放量分布地图。发电站是温室气体的主要来源，其排放的二氧化碳占总量的40%以上。
凯文·葛尼称（就目前掌握的信息看）美国、加拿大、印度和欧盟的二氧化碳排放量情况尚属良好，但其他国家和地区的评估数据还有待完善。
凯文·葛尼的计划名曰菲恩图斯，拉丁语意是“风”。他为此还建立了一个网站，以便全球各个地区的人们提供更多关于发电站的信息。
